This is simply a reminder of what reality is
The north is part of the UK
The only way it can change now is if the Brits hand it over ,or its take by force like Sinn feinn go back to its murderous nature.
Then the loyalists would start down here
But little leo verruca and his Ireland’s got talent cabinet have not worked that one out
Remember civil war could happen here, especially when paramilitaries start with what is the nature of the beast.
Leaving the EU to negotiate for us and us not being directly involved is a recipe for disaster

Sorry bull is a Irish publican not Irish republican army or the unionist mob or political mouth pieces
And it was not publicans that murdered civilians for decades
I think that is confined to the latter do you not think?

We are involved in the negotiations because we are the EU and even as the Sasamach vote was approaching we were talking to our EU partners about the importance of the soft border.

Built into the GFA is the mechanism for a vote on a united Ireland. Some unionists, seeing the disaster that is Sasamach and realising they will soon be a minority, are discussing the benefits of a united Ireland vs post-Sasamah UK. The DUP hardliners are clearly out of touch with the majority of the people in Northern Ireland and with the British Taoiseach facing difficult times over the airstrikes in Syria, they may find their support has a best before date.

WE ARE all involved
We are part of a negotiation process nothing more and we will wait as the EU do the negotiating hoping we get a deal
This is not acceptable
We must be head of the table and no deal unless what is achieved is in our interests first and foremost.
Built into the GFA agreement is an agreement pre brexit
Nothing in the GFA indicates what happens if Britain no longer in the EU
The EU were NOT part of the negotiations or team that formed the GFA
So it means nothing ,and if it did the EU would have to comply like the UK and us as they negotiate the EU post brexit.
If different please point this out in the GFA for I cannot see anything regarding this stated if the UK pull out of the EU

You cannot firstly have a united Ireland with one part out of the EU and another in
The DUP hardliners are in control as the republican hard liners refuse to represent their own in the UK parliament
Forget the northern assembly because that ain’t going to happen as both sides refuse to share power
So stalemate in the north and brexit so near
With republicans representing the communities in the north well dream on
Maybe the follies of voting Sinn Fein rather than SDLP
God we need another hume

If we have a united Ireland it’s going to be in the EU. That EU membership would be the point of Unionists voting for a united Ireland. The EU has already said that should Ireland unite what was Northern Ireland would automatically become part of the EU. This was made clear because the question was raised about Scotland declaring independence. (Should Scotland leave the UK before Sasamach they would have to apply as a new country.)

The DUP hardliners are only needed as long as British Taoiseach May remains in power.

Dream on Bertie
The unionists even by their name are steadfastly unionist and union means the united kingdom not European union
Bit like saying Sinn feinn want the German language to be our national language
if there was another election tomorrow and the unionists held the power to put labour in power labour would deal ,with them
Its the nature of the beast in politics
Power is the opium of government
The UK will never consent to being broken up
If Ireland left the EU I would say it might be a different story and Ireland though not united a very close partnership with no border

It presumably refers to what exactly?
This agreement was made pre brexit and I assume did not invasion anything like brexit
If not please state exactly where it says if the UK leaves the EU
You cannot
Grammar or not grammar, spelling or not spelling.

He’s suggesting that Sasamach nullifies the GFA because the GFA doesn’t mention Sasamach but were that true it would also nullify all international agreements signed by the UK which it clearly won’t. It’s just scaremongering.

The relevance Bertie is negotiations will be flying in the face of this
This document is irrelevant to Europe
The relevance is between us and the UK
There is nothing in the agreement for a thing like in case of brexit
You try and fond it anywhere
I cannot
Is the penny dropping?
We must be engaged with the UK not allowing the EU to handle this
They can tog along to negotiations but cannot call the tune
This is between Ireland and the UK
Mind you the GFA is effectively dead in the water unless our government cops on and takes charge

Once again, we are the EU. As such the EU is well aware of the importance of the GFA and they are being told, by us, about the clauses that the GFA contains which stand in the way of a hard Sasamach.

This means the UK cannot break the GFA as part of the Sasamach negotiations which is why the backstop is Northern Ireland remaining in the Customs Union and the UK/EU border being in the Irish sea. Unless Britain can come up with a better solution to implement a soft border that’s what we’ll be getting.

more and more his posts remind me of the random spam my company occasionally receives from people who will email us PDFs of Russian car schematics every day for 10 days, or email us 30 times a day their conspiracy theories about India. It’s got the same scattered prose.

We will in the republic or some sort of ID like driving licence which was the case all along.
But other EU nations will have to carry passports, unless of course the EU insists that we Irish have to
And they will and blame the Brits,

I just think all this talk of goods and customs is missing the glaringly obvious. That to travel between NI and ROI will not require a passport but between NI and GB will, otherwise they cannot implement the promised immigration controls. It would be impossible to implement on land without sealing all byroads in Ireland. So the border, the real border, the people border, is already agreed as going in the Irish sea.

If taken at their word, this is what the DUP are actually arguing for. Turkeys / Christmas?

Not into the airport or in the lounge but into departures past through the gates when you hand in your ticket
The same thing applies today
They demand a passport as proof of who you are
Evidently you travel little except ferry which you do not need a passport
